There has been much written on this subject over the years and its association with yoga and prayer. While there are many different forms of meditation the basic principle is to connect within.
(1) Lie flat on back on flat surface (for example, rug on floor)
(2) Let body go completely limp. Palms of hands facing up.
(3) Relax breathing with eyes shut, that is, slow down breathing below normal, Slowly exhale, then inhale; hold breath two seconds, then exhale slowly again. Repeat for three to five minutes. Whilst inhaling, think that you are drawing in curative force from Nature. Whilst exhaling, think that all that is associated with ill health in your body is being taken out of your body. (Note that on the inhaled breath, you—the ego—are referred to as the active agent, whereas in the exhaled breath this is not so see it as your soul or higher self breathing out releasing you of all that is not for your higher good and the change is being effected spontaneously.)
(4) Let go of all personal problems.
(5) Reflect on the existence of the soul which is you, and on the infinite life-power surrounding you and in which you dwell and live.
(6) Lie with arms outstretched and palms open, so as to draw in life-force either through palms or through head. (This makes contact with higher power through silent meditation, and it draws on the reconstructive and healing life-force attribute of this power.) Draw it into yourself. Let it distribute itself over the entire body. Let its omni-intelligence direct it to where it is most needed, whether that be the affected part or some other part that is the first cause of the sickness.
(7) Place hands on affected part of body and deliberately direct force through hands to body. A feeling of warmth should be noticeable in palms of hands.
(8) Recollect through imagination the all-pervading sense of God and his infinite goodness.
